Marvel: newuniversal?

[ratcreature]

I haven't seen any new issues of newuniversal (written by Warren Ellis, art by Salvador Larroca) in the last couple of solicitations, which led me to believe that it may have been a miniseries rather than an ongoing one as I thought, but then I actually read the first six issues-- I had read the first issue when it came out, but it seemed very much

Okay, now I have to get New Universal. According to Wiki, there were 8 parts in total, and they're reprinting everything (because of how well they sold out

Ah, good to know that newuniversal hasn't been cancelled, but I find the pause annoying. Do you know when #7 comes out? Also, is there a special Marvel Wiki somewhere? The general wikipedia entry Ilooked at just mentions that the original Marvel New Universe (of which newuniversal is a relaunch) consisted of wight linked titles. Also considering that the are reprinting #1-6 as HC I'd find it odd if there were only two more issues, because that's not enough for another collection, and I suspect if it was just eight issues they'd reprint all in one volume

Scrolling through Marvel's online catalog I do not see Newuniversal 7 in the coming months. The online catalog only lists items up to the end of April 2008 though.
I too am impatiently awaiting the continuation of this series.

I guess they just cancelled it without offering any conclusion.

Perhaps not. My understanding is that the series will resume just later than it was originally planned.
The book of issues 1-6 is being re-released in the first week of March. That may be a prelude to the series being resumed.

I hope so. Though they seem to have less sense than a gerbil for launching things with these random breaks, and not even doing it as connected miniseries then. I mean, clearly it lost its momentum. I for example have almost forgotten about looking out for it by now.
